About me

To Whom it May Concern,

I am writing to apply for the position of Account Executive, a role for which, as a result of my experience and disposition, I know I am well suited.

Since commencing with IPC Media I have established myself as a very adept Sales Executive and team member and have honed my advertising and media knowledge and skills. I have autonomously secured, and established, strong relationships and business with many new trade and agency clients.

In establishing such relationships I have worked with my clients throughout all aspects of their advertising, from advising them on their best options (both print and digital), undertaking administrative activities such as establishing accounts and chasing copy, to ensuring that clients are kept informed regarding their advertising and what is available to them from IPC Media. Working as part of a team aiming to strengthen relationships with, and maximise returns for clients while also maximising company returns makes me the ideal client for an Account Executive position.

My key strengths are my resilience, my inquisitive nature, attention to detail and time management. Each of these strengths has been pertinent at different times in my working life and are all paramount in my current position. It is the combination and balance of these skills that will make a successful Account Executive.

My inherent ability to work with in a team (I am the youngest of five children!) has proven invaluable not only in my role with IPC Media (working together with my seven team members to sell across an eight part portfolio), but with all my previous positions - be it working within a team of nurses to deliver the highest standard of care to our residents, to working within an internship program across several gallery sites.

With a Bachelor of Business Management degree majoring in Advertising I am confident in my knowledge of advertising concepts and business environments. My flair for the creative lead me to combine this degree with a Bachelor of Arts with an extended major in Art History which granted me not only a strong theoretical knowledge of the discipline and the art environment, but encourage and fine tuned my research skills.

As an Irish Passport holder I am entitled to live and work in the UK indefinitely and I am available to start work with a weeks notice.

Yours Sincerely,

Barney Baxter
